The weather kept behaving itself today or at least for the wedding for today’s couple. It was supposed to be a late morning wedding but due to the limousine company letting the bride down it turned out to be an early afternoon ceremony instead. But no matter, it all worked out I the end. The ironic thing is that when this couple went out on their first date, they nearly didn’t make it because they couldn’t find a taxi until a mate drove them and today, again a mate came to the rescue, so I’m sure that it was a good omen!

The weather gods looked down on us today and decided to give us a nice sunny day, just perfect for an outside wedding. And on behalf of all the couples that got married in Melbourne today, I thank them, especially the couple that I married today at the beautiful Rippon Lea Estate.

I had two weddings yesterday, both in the same area and both needing to use plan B due to the weather, luckily plan B happened to be a beautiful chapel in both cases. But with the first wedding being at 10.30am and the second at 3.30pm, there was plenty of time in-between for Russell the Roadie and me to go get a yummy lunch including a Devon-shire tea (the diet will have to start next week)in one of the delightful cafe's that the Dandenong’s host plenty of.

What a fantastic day for a wedding today and it was such a great wedding too! If you’re wanting to have a beach wedding without having to deal with the sand then Sands on the Bay on Elwood Foreshore is the place to do it. A lovely restaurant with a sun room right on the beach, with the sun streaming in and creating a very light atmosphere.
